On power up the screen displays: wd0 Maxtor Disc wd0 5495 Mb and details re disc parameters At boot time :- boot> No Disklabel input/output eror If I try :- boot> boot cd0:/netbsd loading cd0/netbsd to 10 000 000 raw: 1876943 total: 0x1ca3cf exec: No Entry point It seems to me that there are two possibilities : a The CDRom does not have a valid image on it and/or b The disc is bad.I had understood that you could boot a kernel and then label the disc, but it does npot happen for me.
